The impact of artificial intelligence on the workforce continues to generate debate among industry leaders. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei predicted that up to 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs could disappear within the next one to five years due to AI advancements. However, OpenAI executives, including CEO Sam Altman and the company's COO, have publicly disagreed with this forecast, stating there is no current evidence to support such a drastic reduction in jobs. Altman acknowledged that AI development has reached a critical point, describing it as "past the event horizon" with a takeoff underway, but emphasized that changes in employment will likely be gradual rather than sudden. The discussion reflects broader concerns among managers and leaders, who appear more anxious about AI's workplace implications than frontline employees. Major tech companies like Amazon have also expressed caution, warning that AI breakthroughs could reshape their workforces, highlighting ongoing uncertainty about AI's future effects on employment.
